September Loot
~ A Very Victuri Birthday + More Non-YOI Items!? ~
*-*_ ₍₍ (̨̡ ‾᷄♡‾᷅ )̧̢ ₎₎ _*-*Welcome to a slightly belated September loot post!
Since it was my Birthday this month I decided to buy a few bits of Victor and Yuuri merchandise I’ve been wanting to add to the Victuri shrine.
Also, more non-YOI related purchases make an appearance!? Another of my favourite series is revealed!
~*~*~
What was the non-Yuri!!! On Ice related purchase?
Weeeeelll…….
I confess.
I absolutely love Harada’s manga Color Recipe.
There’s just enough of Harada’s trademark creepy/generally unpleasant plot that makes it so interesting to me. As soon as I read it I was totally hooked, the characters are all very unique and interesting.Fukusuke could step on my face and I’d thank him tbh.
Unfortunately this order was a bit bitter sweet. Almost all of the extra goods that came with the Color Recipe Volume 1 were simply scans printed on paper.
To say I was disappointed would be an understatement. I’m not going to bother demanding a refund, it wasn’t that expensive. It was still a bit of a letdown.
Moving on to the actual legit parts of the order!
Volume 1 of course!
I’ve been meaning to buy this for quite some time now. This one is brand new as well, which is nice.
The cover was one of the things that really drew me in to the manga. I find the colouring; while simplistic, is very pretty to look at. It really sets the tone for the volume. Beautiful but a bit creepy XD
The other rather small bit of official merchandise was this!
The Color Recipe A.B-T.C or Animate Book Trading Card.
I believe it was a bonus with an issue of the CIEL magazine (which the first book of Color Recipe was serialised in).
It’s a crying shame there isn’t more merch for this series. I’m actually planning on making a mini shrine for it and I’ll be posting photos once I manage to gather some more stuff :D
Some YOI merchandise finally showed up halfway through the month.
Doujinshi. Once again featuring young Victor and shota Yuuri. Is anyone even surprised at this point?
Moving along to another impulse buy from Mandarake.
My impulse buys seem to be consisting of clear files and badges these days XD

This clear file was from the Maruchan x YOI campaign.
This one is so cute~ I love how adorable the boys look, between Yuuri’s happy face and Victor’s Makkachin slippers it just makes me smile :D
Another badge for the Victuri shrine!
My main focus for badges are ones that feature Victor and Yuuri together.
Also arriving was another Aitai Kuji order.
The staff book and another acrylic stand.
Honestly the contents of this could have been rubbish and I’d still be happy to have it just for this cover. They’re all such dorks on it, I love it.
(The contents were also great so that was a bonus, haha~)
The acrylic stand was small but perfect. Though their rings aren’t as noticeable here just knowing they’re there is enough to warm my fangirl heart.
Meanwhile another box of porn arrived X’D
I make no more excuses for my purchases. I have just come to accept I’m a perv and probably a bit too obsessed with Young Victor and Shota Yuuri.
But hey, as the ending theme of YOI says: YOLO.
Another much smaller box arrived on the same day.
My 11cm Obitsu body from Parabox. Hell yes.
What is this little body for? All will be revealed once I explain the next arrival!
FromJapan is a dangerous service to my wallet. Seriously though, they’re great. I’m so glad I started using them or I wouldn’t have been able to get a hold of any of this stuff.
There’s a bit of a hodgepodge of stuff here but let’s start with the most obvious one.
Q Posket Victor. Who I couldn’t order from AmiAmi because Banpresto are a bunch of- ******
Ahem-
Now I’m of the opinion you either like Q Poskets or you don’t.
I personally rather like them because they’re quite doll like and being a doll collector as well I find them rather interesting little things.
When viewed from the right angles I actually think Victor is quite cute :3
I love how well sculpted and detailed his hair is. The blush on his cheeks gives his face a bit of life instead of feeling like he’s, well; staring blankly into your soul. I’m interested to see how Yuuri turns out even though I’m still bitter they didn’t make him in his casual clothes.

On to the other non-YOI purchase of this loot post!
The Color Recipe rubber strap from Harada’s exhibition Happy Shitty Life.
*Cue the internal squealing but also a lot of actual fangirl flailing*
I was so damn excited to get this rubber strap.
The seller also included one of flyers for the exhibition which was nice.
So much love for this one little piece of merchandise~ <3
As soon as I saw Harada post the exhibitions exclusive merchandise on Twitter I immediately zoned in on the seemingly only 1 piece of Color Recipe merchandise.
Needless to say my thought process was pretty straight forward: I HAD TO HAVE THAT STRAP.
So you better believe as soon as the exhibition started I was stalking FromJapan every day. My obsessiveness led me to buying it for 2500yen, way over the retail value but to me it was more than worth it. I’m especially glad since the prices for the rubber straps seem to keep going up now.
The other two odd bits in this order were these Nendoroid parts.
Kogitsunemaru’s face and Kiyomitsu’s Co-De hair.
Now to explain the 11cm Obitsu body.
I’m going to be making a custom Obitsuroid (Obitsu with a Nendoroid head, for those who haven’t heard of them before.)
I’m very excited to start this project, I’ve not done any figure related customising so this should be a fun challenge.
Who’s the victim lucky character I’ll be giving figure form to?
It has to be, of course; Fukusuke from Color Recipe.
The manga has one rubber strap of merchandise and absolutely zero figures so you’re damn right I’m taking matters into my own hands XD He’ll be going straight into the mini Color Recipe shrine once he’s done. I’ll be posting a diary entry documenting his progress once I’ve completed him. So keep an eye out for it if you’re interested.
September’s loot post is a smaller one but October brings promise of many Victuri things Dakimakuras. HELL Y E S.
The Victuri shrine hasn’t had too much added to it this time (not that there’s much space left XD)
I’m looking forward to adding more figures to it next month along with the inevitable acrylic stand and badge impulse buys.
Until next loot post guys!

Ciciely (Il y a 3 jours) #27145022Can't wait to see your little creation! The shrine's looking beautiful as per usual as well.
I can't wait to get started on him. Properly at least, I've already modified the Obitsu body so the head stays on. Just waiting on some materials to add to his hair :)

Thank you~ It's slowing down now merchandise wise but I look forward to adding more figures too it. Hopefully a Yuuri scale comes up for pre-order soon!

I couldn't help a bark of laughter at that x'D
Q posket! I was really tempted to get that figure. I like the doll-like features too since I also have bjd.
I dig the clear file of casual wear.
I've never heard of color recipe. Looks interesting, I need to Google it to see what it's about hehe.
Good luck on your nendo custom! Looks like you're off to a good start! I look forward to seeing your project.^^
Your shrine never fails to amaze me. I like way too many characters so I've never really built a focused shrine, but I do have (a few) shelves dedicated to one series or theme (like my traditional Japanese section with Hakuoki, Tourabu, Rurouni Kenshin etc.) Needs some serious dusting tho >>;;
Oh yeah and Happy Birthday! XD
As soon as I typed it I laughed a little myself XD Glad someone else found it amusing, haha~

He's really nice quality for the price. Oh you have BJDs? Me too, it's my other main hobby outside of figure/merchandise collecting.

Color Recipe probably isn't for everyone but if you don't mind something a bit on the weird/psychological side I'd definitely recommend it. It's honestly one of Harada's tamer stories.

Thank you! I'm just waiting on a few more bits and pieces before I can really get stuck into the project.

This is actually my first 'proper' shrine that actually includes merchandise and not just figures :D I do similar series/character themed figure shelves too (my Angela Balzac shelf and two shelves dedicated to Sonico figures) Oh god now that you mention it some of my displays are way overdue for dusting as well X'D haha~

AkibaMelon (Il y a 3 jours) #27132324Everything is so cool *_* I have to admit, I haven't watched YOI myself yet ^^;; But I always love checking out its merch because it's always so good-looking and cute!
I also love doujin posts so your blog is highly appreciated :) Please keep us updated about the Obitsuroid progress, I'd love to see the final result :D
YOI does get some really great merch! Particularly with the collaborations, the Sanrio stuff that's still coming out at the moment is really adorable :) Honestly I do the same with shows I haven't watched either X'D

Thanks! It just wouldn't be a monthly loot post of mine without a Doujin or 6, lol. I will certainly be documenting the Obitsuroid process! I still need to buy a few more things before I can make anymore progress.
